Harvest Supper Potluck Nov. 11

Church members and friends and their children are invited to join us at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11 for the Annual Harvest Supper sponsored by our Green Sanctuary Team. We’ll share delicious food and enjoy entertainment. Local beer and wine will be available for a donation.

As was the case last year, the supper will be a potluck. There is no need to sign up or buy a ticket. Everyone is welcome – just bring a dish to share, and try to use locally produced ingredients from our surrounding area or other parts of Missouri as much as possible.

We will be providing information on good places to obtain ingredients, including the Columbia Farmer’s Market, which will be open Saturdays through November.

This is a family friendly event, so plan to bring your kids!

– Kyna Byerly, coordinator

Second Annual Campout - Oct. 13-15

Our Green Sanctuary Team has planned the second annual All-Church Campout at Bergfried near Hermann, Mo. from Friday, Oct. 13 through Sunday, Oct. 15. The 600-acre facility is owned our UU friends at Eliot Chapel in Kirkwood, Mo.

Campers will experience fall colors, campfires, s’mores, singing, hiking, music, games, and an outdoor Sunday worship service. The entire weekend has been reserved, so come for as short or long stay as you like.

The campers had a lot of fun last year and expect an even better experience this year. In addition to being a great time for children, it gives all our members a chance to make deeper connections with each other.

Campers can camp in the open or in tents or stay in the cottage or bunkhouses (first-come, first-served). The cottage has water, electricity, a double bed, two twin beds and three portable twin floor mattresses that can be used on the screened porch. There are two bunkhouses, one with four beds and the other with five.

The cost will be a small donation to cover food and the rental of Bergfried. Email Peter Holmes to let the organizers know you are coming and what your accommodation needs are (put “Campout Registration” on the subject line). Also please indicate if you can help with organizing the campout.
